Chapter 50: The Impact of the Provincial Top Scholar: TOP10 Universities Gather
"Buzz~~~"
"Buzz~~~"
Just as Zhou Yi was organizing the system rewards, the mobile phone on the desk kept vibrating.
They were all congratulatory messages from Principal Luo Heng, Education Bureau Director Jia Tao, and homeroom teacher Li Xiangyang.
Besides that, there were many congratulatory text messages from unfamiliar numbers.
"Ring-ring~~ Ring-ring~~~"
Suddenly, the phone rang.
When the Su Hang Province college entrance exam rankings were announced, Zhou Yi had already anticipated that many people would call him.
So he had set up a whitelist in advance.
Now, only acquaintances could get through.
So, having finished organizing the system rewards, Zhou Yi didn't hesitate and answered the call directly.
"Mr. Zhou, in view of your outstanding performance in the college entrance exam,
the municipal government has decided to reward you with 2 million Zhongxia currency and gift you a luxurious villa.
Tell me, do you want to decide on the residential community for this luxurious villa yourself, or shall we choose one for you?"
Zhao Wenbin's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Compared to before, his voice was even more respectful, with a hint of flattery.
After all, previously they had only guessed that Zhou Yi would become the Su Hang Province top scholar.
Now that the rankings were announced, the identity of the province's top scholar was confirmed.
Zhou Yi's future development was limitless.
Although he was the city's secretary and a deputy county-level cadre,
in front of Zhou Yi, he truly didn't amount to much.
"Gifting a luxurious villa?"
"Then let's choose the Beiyuan Scenic Community."
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yi said.
Since traveling to this world, his favorite place had been the Beiyuan Scenic Community.
Since the city was going to give it, he might as well choose that one.
"Alright, we will start processing the procedures for you now. After the procedures are completed, I will notify you to move in."
Zhao Wenbin hung up the phone respectfully.
On Zhou Yi's end, another incoming call came through.
It was Principal Luo Heng calling.
"Zhou Yi, the admission teachers from the TOP10 universities will arrive at the school this afternoon. At that time, I will send a car to pick you up.
Rest assured, this time all TOP10 universities are gathering together, including the three top universities you have been longing for!"
There was uncontrollable joy in Luo Heng's words.
Last time, during the special recruitment, although it was said to be the TOP10 universities, only four actually came, and the top three ranked universities did not come at all.
This time, for the special recruitment, all TOP10 universities have gathered; it is a completely different concept from last time!
"Alright."
Zhou Yi nodded, indicating he understood.
After hanging up the phone, there was also some curiosity in his eyes.
The three top universities held a transcendent status.
Now that they were coming for special recruitment, it was unknown what kind of conditions they would offer.
But no matter what, the treatment certainly wouldn't be too low.
"Brother!! The Education Bureau said they want to give us 5 million in cash and a Grade C cultivation resource.
The municipal government also wants to give us 2 million in cash, and they are gifting a luxurious villa!
There are also many companies saying on TV that they want to give us things."
At this moment, Zhou Yun rushed in energetically.
Her delicate and pretty little face was filled with excitement.
"I know, I just received the phone notification."
Zhou Yi rubbed Zhou Yun's little head and asked curiously:
"Where did you go just now?"
After notifying everyone that he was the province's top scholar, Zhou Yun had run out.
At that time, his mind was on the system rewards, so he didn't notice where Zhou Yun went.
"Hehe, I just went out to tell Sister Wang, Sister Liu, and the others the good news."
"My brother is the Su Hang Province top scholar!"
Zhou Yun puffed out her chest, like a proud little phoenix.
Hearing this, Zhou Yi couldn't help but smile.
This girl had gone out to show off.
"By the way, brother, I just received a lot of calls.
Not only from those companies, but also from relatives I haven't contacted in a long time."
Zhou Yun held up her phone, which showed a long list of missed calls.
"Also, Auntie Li came looking for me just now, saying the previous medical expenses were calculated wrong and she refunded me quite a bit of money."
She fished out some bright red cash from her pocket again.
"Calls from companies and businesses can be ignored, and we can't accept the things they send either."
"As for those relatives, except for Auntie and Second Uncle who helped us back then, don't bother with any of the others."
"As for the medical fees Li Yi miscalculated, just keep them yourself."
Zhou Yi quickly made the arrangements, feeling a touch of emotion in his heart at the same time.
As the saying goes, the poor in a bustling city go unasked, while the rich in deep mountains have distant kin.
Back then, when his mother passed away from illness and his younger sister was critically ill, hospital fees were urgently needed.
With nowhere left to turn, he called these relatives to borrow money, but most of them avoided him as if he were a plague god.
If they didn't refuse the call, they'd just say outright that they had no money either.
However, he had already screened them before making the calls.
These few relatives should have had some spare cash.
The borrowing came to nothing; if it weren't for Auntie and Second Uncle, who were in similarly difficult circumstances, gritting their teeth and scraping together some money, his younger sister Zhou Yun might no longer be here today.
Of course, he wasn't blaming them for anything.
After all, borrowing money is a sensitive matter to begin with.
Let alone when the borrower is a penniless kid who has even sold his house and is dragging along a critically ill younger sister.
It's understandable to have some resistance to that.
But since they couldn't share hardship back then, now that they're reaching out again, he naturally wouldn't bother with them.
As for Li Yi, who had miscalculated the medical fees, Zhou Yi didn't expose her either.
After all, in his younger sister's eyes, she was still a head nurse with a decent impression.
The TOP10 universities moved fast.
At two in the afternoon, Zhou Yi received a call from Principal Luo Heng.
"The admissions teachers from the TOP10 universities have already arrived, and the special car I've arranged is also on its way. Just take the special car directly in a bit."
"Hm? That fast?"
Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow slightly.
The provincial exam rankings were released at eight in the morning, and now only six hours had passed.
The TOP10 had actually all gathered already?
You have to know, these TOP10 universities are distributed all across the country.
"There are ultra-long-distance teleportation arrays; reaching Lijiang isn't that simple? It's just a matter of cost."
Principal Luo Heng explained with a smile.
"So that's how it is."
Zhou Yi suddenly understood.
Right, as a major infrastructure power, Zhongxia has basically built teleportation arrays in every city domestically.
No matter how far the distance, as long as one is willing to spend magic cores and magic crystals, isn't it just a matter of the blink of an eye?
"The TOP10 universities gathered together works out well; it's time to decide on my target school."
Zhou Yi's goal had always been the three top-tier schools.
But he hadn't yet decided which of the three top-tier institutions to choose.
Of course, no matter which one he chose, he would receive the most top-tier training.
Not long after Principal Luo Heng's call ended, the special car he had arranged arrived downstairs at the hospital.
And Zhou Yi got straight into the special car and headed to Second High School.
